Book Discussion Group
Tuesday, January 21
at 7:30 p.m.
In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal and is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel's doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery.
Brimming with humor, a glittering cast of characters, and one beautifully rendered scene after another, this singular novel casts a spell as it relates the count's endeavor to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a man of purpose.
Copies of the book are available at the circulation desk.
The group
meets in the second floor Conference Room at 7:30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of the month. Click
here for a list of upcoming books.
All are welcome. If you haven't read the book, join us to find out what others have to say about it.
